2 years agoUKSCA Accredited Strength & Conditioning Coach - a long time in the making! 🦾 I’m not the most academic guy. I learnt from watching other coaches whilst teaching myself sport science by reading books cover to cover & researching studies & articles. I attended all the UKSCA workshops & other CPD days to build my knowledge because I knew that doing my UKSCA would be the difference between taking an athlete to the gym & taking them to the Olympics. It’s true what they say about the tip of the iceberg. Nobody sees what’s underneath the surface. You only ever see a very small part of somebody’s journey. You don’t see the constant studying, workshops, case studies & exams. The countless gym floor hours as a gym instructor over 13 years ago when I was first dreaming about working with Premier League football players. I went self employed in 2013 which sparked my first brand TJ Fitness & Wellbeing, starting with bootcamps in the local field where some days only 1 person would show. This business was started with leaflet dropping for hours to try & pick up local business. 6 months later the winter came & luckily 2 of the guys I worked in the gym with were opening a private studio where I started to build my 1-2-1 personal training business, leading to me picking up my first athlete who I approached at a local boxing show which paved my way into the athlete world. These were the days where I would question doing performance training & knowing why I’m doing performance training… This is what started my journey towards wanting to become a strength & conditioning coach. 3 years later, I opened Studio 9 Fitness where we now support 16 other coaches build their PT businesses. In 2018 I had my first Premier League academy player, 3 months later I started my journey to become accredited. Fast forward a few years & a lot of hard work, I’m extremely proud to say that I can officially call myself a @UKSCA Accredited S&C Coach 🏋🏽‍♂️ I can also say I’m living that dream working in multiple sports with some of the best up and coming talent around the world. You now know what I mean when I say… Built not born 💯 And… I’ve only just got warm!! Stay tuned 👀 #BuiltNotBorn
